The Panthers have also let players go to other teams that were higher draft picks. Burns, Jackson, Chin, Gross Matos all left after 2023. Perhaps letting these go was correct but the point is even when they do draft they either don’t develop them or they pick the wrong guys.
Back during the last SB run, the core of the team were high draft picks in defense and offense. Most of those drafted were Hurney picks and this was a big discussion that Gettleman got to the SB with mostly Hurney players.
The Tepper years have been a myriad of coaching changes, GM changes, scheme changes and player changes with no consistency. Let’s hope both Teppers will allow their football people to make the football decisions going forward and this sinking ship will start floating again.
